DecemberA Guide to Understanding Monetization in Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, New Light
Unfortunately, there’s almost no way to earn these items through gameplay. Random tiers on the Battle Pass (we’ll get to that) drop Engrams that contain some of this gear. Other than that, players need to rely on two currencies:
Yes, despite all the worldwide controversy surrounding loot boxes, Destiny 2 still uses them. Called Bright Engrams, these boxes are purchased from the Eververse store. They spill out a random selection of items that players have no control over. There are also Nostalgic Engrams that contain cosmetic items from Year 2. If you really want to spend real-world money on microtransactions, it’s best to directly purchase what you want from Eververse.
Still Hunt is one of the strongest snipers in the game, if not definitively the best. It's main trait, Cayde's Retribution, allows the gun to fire Golden Gun shots after landing enough headshots and/or picking up enough Orbs of Po
With the release of the Shadowkeep expansion in the Fall of 2019 , Bungie released a major overhaul to the Destiny 2 armor system. This major change brought more stats and more flexibility for players to choose how they wanted to build their Guardians. The promise from Bungie was that if players earned their Magnificent armor, then a package would be waiting for them once the new expansion hit with all of their Magnificent armor brought forward under the new sys
In the end, this Solstice of Heroes seems like a net positive for Destiny 2 players . The universal ornaments can be used indefinitely and players are welcome to upgrade their armor as much as they choose. It’s clear that some of the tasks necessary to upgrade the armor are far harder than others. That balance has always been very challenging to strike. But expecting some deep, intricate event to wrap up the year that is to include all players, even those without the expansions, is a simply a miss. The event is supposed to be pretty simple, fun, and with bright, shiny rewards that **Destiny 2 ** players can show off far into the future. Beyond Light draws near. Let’s hope Guardians are re
The EAZ is where the bulk of the event takes place. Floating high above the European Dead Zone , elemental swords guide one of Destiny 2 ’s main patrol areas, the EAZ is a small map with a great deal of verticality. Guardians drop in as a fireteam of three and race the clock, killing as many boss enemies as they can before time runs out. Once the clock hits zero, a large boss spawns, and then the event is over. The number of bosses slain during the initial run determines how many reward chests appear around the EAZ after the boss has been destroyed. If players fight faster, they earn more l
Collect Light and Dark Motes to charge your weapon. Each Knight Echo will drop three motes. Five motes of the same type will charge them, and they depend on where you’re standing when you kill the Echo. These motes will only last for 30 seconds after collection until there is a full charge. Use the charge on the matching pillars by pressing the triggers on top of them. When you’re done, climb up into a small ar
Follow the Toland light orb around the room. Cleansing Light or Dark plates and then standing in the middle of the room will flip it. Find the orb and then cleanse the plate underneath it to make progress. While doing this, avoid and kill Hobgoblins and Knight Echos. A Knight Echo will spawn whenever a Hobgoblin is killed. Light up the six sides of the cube in the middle of the arena, and find a small crack in the wall to go back to the Wastel
Every year, the event coordinator of Destiny 2 ’s Tower, Eva Levante, returns with a smile on her face and a task at hand. The Solstice and its rewards are generally tied to two main factors: the Magnificent Armor, and the European Aerial Zone (E
Succession is all the moreimpressive when taking into account its perks. Reconstruction keeps the gun loaded to double its magazine size, and Recombination makes it so that getting kills with the game's various elements stacks a damage bonus up to 100%. This gun can also run with Focus Fury and Firing line, making it a great pick for sustained damage on Champions and minibosses. The gun is also incredibly easy to acquire in Onslaught , and can be target farmed at Zavala, as well as acquired from its original source, Deep Stone Crypt. Both options for this gun are great, especially for players who want a slower and more deliberate rifle than The Suprem
Exodus: Preparation is only available during the Season of Arrivals. Players can obtain this quest from Commander Zavala. Mysterious pyramids have appeared on different planets, causing great concern. Players will need to help these citizens prepare for evacuation of the planets.
